| Notes |
alien species: De Japanse kelp Undaria pinnatifida of wakame is een bruinwier afkomstig uit Noordoost-Azië en wordt daar gekweekt voor consumptie. Het is een opportunistische soort die zich heel snel kan verspreiden door zich vast te hechten op scheepsrompen. In Europa werd de soort echter door de mens uitgezet en gekweekt als voedsel. Vaak vormt wakame dichte kelpwouden, waardoor de soort in competitie treedt met inheemse plant- en diersoorten voor de beschikbare ruimte en licht. Zo wordt de lokale fauna en flora weggeconcurreerd. Bij ons komt de soort tot nu toe enkel voor in de haven van Zeebrugge. [details] alien species: Undaria pinnatifida or wakame is a brown alga originating from Northeast-Asia, where it is grown for consumption. It is an opportunistic species that can spread very fast by attaching itself to ship hulls. In Europe, the species was introduced by man and grown as source of food. Wakame often forms dense kelp forests, which go into competition with indigenous plants and animals for available space and light. This leads to outcompeting of the local fauna and flora. Here, the species only occurs in the harbor of Zeebrugge. [details] | |||||||||||||
